What does /tv/ think about Seinfeld?

>>211453530 (OP)
It's literally the big bang theory of the 90s
>the tall autistic guy is the fan favourite
>short balding manlet pulls 10/10 hotties
>protagonist is the most boring character who can't act
>female protag is a whore
>shitty theme song
>unlikable characters
>annoying laugh track

greatest sitcom of all time

>>211453612
except BBT theory isnt funny and has a terrible cast whereas seinfelds is perfect even if jerry is the weakest

Kino of the highest order

it proved sitcoms don't need a premise to be successful.

then larry david went on to prove sitcoms don't need writing at all.

this should've proven that sitcoms are garbage to everyone, but most people didn't get the message

I only got around to it because of the ISHYGDDT meme. Excellent show, watched a few times now and it definitely deserves its rep as the top network sitcom.

It filters zoomies.

>BBT theory isnt funny
Neither is Seinfeld. You had to be a Jew Yorker to understand most of the shit they kept kvetching about.
>whereas seinfelds is perfect
Not really.
Kramer is le autistic bumbling fool and George is le screaming manlet rage.
Elaine is the only good actress. Jerry sucks hard. Keeps corpsing and ruining multiple scenes.

Seinfeld is like The Beatles. Nothing really to say other than top tier stuff. You can't even rage bait about it being bad or something. No one falls for that.

>>211453612
It birthed the theme of the good guys being the bad guys. There is nothing likable about the main characters so you like the negative characteristics you share with them. Reminds me of a certain religion.

>>211453849
Who is Paul and who is John?

>>211453881
>Seinfeld invented the concept of bad guys being protagonists
The absolute state of soillennial Seinfeldfags

>>211453881
you should try coming up with your own ideas rather than filtering everything through your jewdar detector

>>211453530 (OP)
very jewish

>>211453881
This goes back to at least The Honeymooners.

>>211453530 (OP)
>What does /tv/ think about *modern* Seinfeld?

>>211453930
Larry is John Paul George and Ringo
Jerry is Pete Best

>>211453612
>the tall autistic guy is the fan favourite
Is that supposed to describe Costanza?

>>211454818
Lol. Go to sleep, Larry.
>>211454872
Fan favourite refers to the normal audience. Not a bunch of weirdos on 4chan.

Seinfeld sucks donkeyballs, people had nothing better to do in the 90’s huh?

It consistently has some of the funniest writing of any sitcom I think

>>211454943
All the main memes, iconic moments and cultural impact all come from George's characterisation. This isn't me just saying that, I don't even like Seinfeld but you're a retard if you think people love Kramer more than Costanza. Go and ask any Seinfeld fan.

>>211455068
The audience hooted and hollered every time kramer entered the scene, but not for George.
A bunch of memes which coincidentally had George doesn't mean he was the fan favourite.

>>211455168
>The audience hooted and hollered every time kramer entered the scene
People did the same with Friends, does that make it funny? Normalfags aren't human and they can be conditioned to do anything. Do you actually believe that "studio audience" crap? And that's not to mention that Kramer is supposed to be the hecking crazy zaney guy. He's there for cheap laughs.

>>211455298
>People did the same with Friends, does that make it funny?
Way to miss the point, Seinfeldtard.
My point is the audience hooting and hollering meant they liked Kramer more and hence was the fan favourite.
And yes Friends was streets ahead of Seinfeld.
>Do you actually believe that "studio audience" crap?
Nooo. The people in the audience are all pre programmed robots.
>And that's not to mention that Kramer is supposed to be the hecking crazy zaney guy. He's there for cheap laughs.
Ok. And? He can't be the fan favourite because he's a slapstick character.

>>211455298
>>211455447
both of you are retards

>>211455498
Meh. Still not as retarded as a Seinfeld fanboy.

It's the best sitcom. Simple as. You may not like sitcoms, but if you do, you probably like Seinfeld. You may have a different favorite show that is more to your tastes, but you gotta admit Seinfeld is up there. The sitcom format has changed, there were some before Seinfeld, some after Seinfeld and I don't think we'll ever get back to the 80s-90s-00s sitcom era, so it's safe to just admit it at this point, it peaked with Seinfeld.

I can't wait for new AI generated Seinfeld and all my other favorite old sitcoms. We'll never run out of episodes

>>211455168
>The audience hooted and hollered every time kramer entered the scene
You realize the studio audience is instructed on how to react, right?

>>211453849
It’s not Seinfeld’s fault that networks took away that you need a cast of selfish narcissists to be a hit. Like it’s not The Simpsons fault networks took away that people laugh at ugly cartoons.

At its best it is the best. At its worst, it's like Friends or something similar. Not great at all but an okay way to pass the time. But its hit to miss ratio is stellar

>>211455793
>they should react like this only for kramer
>why?
>they just do. O-okay?!??

Season 3-7 was absolutely peak comedy kino that no other sitcom has ever surpassed.

The series became too fucking retarded after Larry left

>>211455168
>this guy actually fell for the studio audience response

I’m an immigrant and I heard a lot of about Seinfeld. I decided to watch it and I thought they were loud as hell. I asked people why they were loud but being in New York I guess no one noticed how loud they are in the show (Jerry literally screams every line). I thought it was funny but then I found out they were all jews and that’s why they were loud.
Anyway let’s go Mets

so fucking unfunny. Just a bunch of neurotic morons blowing up situations that can be fixed in 2 minutes but instead spiral in a cringy mess.

>>211456144
>can be fixed in 2 minutes

If they had cellphones back then most of the plots wouldn't have worked like the parking garage or bubble boy

>>211456594
Wow. Such a boring clip. Embarrassing

>>211456121
If you watch a lot of old TV shows and movies, everybody screams because of shitty microphones. But Seinfeld didn’t even have that excuse. Everyone in that show yells when they don’t have to.

The biggest thing that bothered me about the series was Susan's character. Like out of all the character that could've been reoccurring they chose the blandest character for George. She then acts like a total asshole to him and his friends right before they get married.

Jason Alexander went on record saying he convinced Larry to kill her off because the cast couldn't work with the character. At least Puddy was a major improvement

>>211456669
Sure thing, NPC

Elaine get gangbang

>>211456689
WHAHAHAHA SO LE FUNNY HOLY SHIT COMEDY GENIUS

>>211456669
>>211457415
Name something you think is funny then.

>>211457638
Fishtank season 2

>>211453849
I hate The Beatles.
t. /mu/tant

>>211453530 (OP)
I've watched most of them by now and enjoyed most episodes. I know it's his character but George is very annoying most of the time. His telling of the story about the recovery of Kramer's golf ball from the whale is classic kino tho.

>>211453530 (OP)
We love it, I speak for everyone here tonight.

Uh, racist much?

>>211453530 (OP)
funi

>>211453530 (OP)
Reminder this show named the jew

>>211453836
>you'd have to be a new yorker
I've lived in small towns in Oregon my whole life and Seinfeld is easy to comprehend because its all based around relatable experiences dealing with other people irl. Seinfeld is hilarious and George and Kramer especially are deservedly iconic

>>211453881
>there is nothing likable about the main characters
completely false premise people try to push, all of them are basic albeit semi particular type of people, people like George and Kramer are the exact types of friends you want to have, and Elaine is the ideal prototype for a female friend

>>211456144
>neurotic morons blowing up situations
thats exactly why its funny, thats how real life can be sometimes and even if it wasn't its funny to watch

>>211458031
holy mother of fuck.

>>211456594
this is a webm that I made

>>211453530 (OP)
Only the first 7 seasons are good. The show went to shit after Larry David left.

>>211467566
Last season is fine.

>>211468395
It got too cartoonish

>>211453612
>It's literally the big bang theory of the 90s
Seinfeld is an order of magnitude higher quality.
Come on man...

>>211453530 (OP)
A strange sitcom because it's not really funny, but it is well written and entertaining, so much so that i was able to watch all ten seasons and had a good time with it.

>>211453530 (OP)
I hate the stupid fart bass keyboard riffs and the the laugh track.

>>211469211
>not really funny
Costanza is hilarious, Kramer is amusing, Elaine and Jerry are never funny
Still a great show
